[PUBLISHED BY PERMISSION | 


KARL FREUND’S FURNITURE AND OBJETS D’ART 


N order to clear the way for a forthcoming Spring exhibition of Karl 
| Freund’s interiors, the furniture and objets d’art which formed the founda- 
tion of his two recent exhibitions at The Anderson Galleries (April and 
December, 1923), will be offered at unreserved public sale at the Galleries on 


February 20, 21, 22 and 23. 


The sale will be of interest to those who had the opportunity of visiting 
the exhibitions, and showed their appreciation of the originality of design and 
the usefulness of the objects displayed. 


Some of our foremost art critics have expressed themselves about these 
exhibitions as follows: 


“Interiors for Florida’ is the theme exploited by Karl 
Freund in an exhibition now occupying several galleries at 
Anderson’s, but the consensus of opmion is that these are in- 
teriors that would look well anywhere. Myr. Freund as a deco- 
rator has inexhaustible ingenuity and one never gets to the end 
of the pleasant surprises he arranges in his exhibitions.?— 


Henry McBride, New York Herald, December 16, 1923 


“The second annual exhibition of modern and ‘old art,’ as the 
announcement calls it, collected by Karl Freund, looks as though 
it were to be a perennial institution. That would be great good 
Fortune, —— 


Ruth Green Harris, New York Times, December 16, 1923 


“This is the second of Mr. Freund’s blithe demonstrations 
of his theory that essential decorative objects of art and em- 
bellishment can live in harmony together, with no dark suspicion 
of period or pattern to mar the joy of their union. This is 
even a better Q.E.D. of the proposition than the former exhi- 
bition and gives one a sort of debonair reaction, not only because 
of the intrinsically beautiful furnishings and adornments and 
their felicitous arrangement, but also because of the escape 
from the oppression of stereotyped formulas of interior 
decoration.” —Margaret Breuning, New York Evening Post, 
December 15, 19238 


The Karl Freund Collection comprises, amongst a multitude of charming, 
raluable and useful creations from his workshops, a number of specially 


important attractions, such as: 


An oak panelled library of the Queen Anne Period, from 
Letchworth, Hertfordshire 

A Chinese painted paper wainscot of the Eighteenth Century 
An Italian painted canvas room 

A high post bed painted by Angelika Kauffmann for Lord Ely 
A Stuart dining room suite from the Countess of Craven 

A Gothic tapestry of great importance 

A pipe organ of the Queen Anne Period, in excellent playing 
condition 


and tapestries, embroideries, hangings, screens, paintings, sculptures, porce- 
lains, glass, clocks, mirrors, ceiling lghts, rugs, lamps, lighting fixtures, 
mantelpieces, marbles and bronzes,—in short, artistic expressions of many 


countries and epochs.

apparently made from a sketch taken to China from these shores, has 
the fascination of Lowestoft porcelain or other ingenuous alloys of

the interest of the various groups, give especial value to the picture. 
B. View oF THE SEINE 
The picture shows a view of the Seine looking towards the Pont Neuf,

distance is seen a view of Paris, with the Towers of Notre Dame and

beginning of their respective careers. The pictures were painted for the 
King, but were among the examples of Teniers and others he ordered

William Tomlinson was a celebrated clockmaker who became a member 
of the Clockmakers’ Corporation in 1699. A watch made by him is 
in the South Kensington Museum, London. Britten, page 706, refers to 
a similar clock as follows: ‘‘Inside a fine eight-day oriental lacquer clock- 
case by him were directions to set up and keep a pendulum clock, and 
underneath, ‘the said clocks with all other sorts and all sorts of watches 
are made by William Tomlinson at the Dial and Three Crowns in 
Birchin Lane, near the Royal Exchange, London, now in White Hart 
Court, Gracechurch Street.”

Gilded bronze case composed of two amorini seated on a socle and sup- 
porting a dome entablature upon which are placed putti emblematic of 
sculpture. The dial is framed in a chased circular moulding and bears 
the inscription “Lepaute de Belle Fontaine a Paris’. The socle bears 
the inscription of the ciseleur, Ormond. ‘The white marble base is en- 
riched with scrolled cuivre doré mounts. 
“Jean André Lepaute, born at Montmedi, 1709, attained considerable 
eminence as a clockmaker in Paris; was appointed ‘horloger du Roy.’ 
He improved the pin-wheel escapement of Amant by putting pins on both 
sides of the wheel. Lepaute constructed several fine turret clocks and 
clocks for the Louvre at Paris, wound by means of an air current and 
fan, a method re-invented recently. He made many curious timepieces 
(equation, one-wheel clocks, etc.), and was the author of an excellent 
‘Traité d’Horlogerie’ (Paris, 1760), revised and augmented, says 
Moinet, by the celebrated Lalande. In the second edition of this work 
appears Lalande’s treatise on ‘perfect pitching.’ In the Jones Collec- 
tion at South Kensington Museum is a fine clock in a case of Vincennes 
porcelain and cuivre doré, with the date letter for 1754 and signed 
‘Lepaute de Belle Fontaine 4 Paris.’ A twelve-month timepiece by him 
is at Windsor Castle; there are four clocks by him in the Wallace collec- 
tion.”—Britten’s “Old Clocks and Watches & Their Makers.”

TWO IMPORTANT SEVENTEENTH CENTURY BRUSSELS 
TAPESTRY PANELS BY HENRI REYDAMS (RYDAMS) 
AFTER CARTOONS BY VAN DER MEULEN 

A. A SHEPHERD AND SHEEP 

A freely composed landscape with a bridge and tall richly foliated trees. 
The foreground is filled with a group of sheep and the youthful shepherd 
clad in vermilion and blue. Magnificent border on four sides consisting 
of satyrs placed upon elaborately carved socles, and above fruit and bird 
festoons and trophies held by winged amorini. The upper border com- 
posed of satyrs and grapevine swags—the lower border with two rep- 
resentations of Hercules. Signed in right hand corner by the maker, 
H. Reydams. Height, 11 feet 3 mches; width, 8 feet & inches 
B. Berore THE Hunt ; 
The foreground is occupied by two huntsmen, a bearded nobleman and 
his youthful companion on horseback. At their side is an attendant 
carrying a gun, and with him a group of hounds. Background of boldly 
foliated trees. Border similar to the preceding. 

Size as above. 

Henri Reydams the Younger succeeded his father in 1671. 

Eight armorial tapestries (Duke of Medina-Coeli at Madrid) are 
signed by H. Reydams and J. Borght. Wauters mentions him as having 
signed an Equestrian tapestry. The family became connected with the 
equally celebrated weaver family of Leyniers and continued the manufac- 
ture into the middle of the Eighteenth Century. Some pieces are signed 
Leyniers-Rydams. According to Wauters there were only nine weavers 
in Brussels in 1700, and Rydams was one of them. 


KIGHTEENTH CENTURY FRENCH BEAUVAIS TAPESTRY OF

color and composition. The centre occupied by Andromache in rose- 
colored crimson-lined draped garments with under-drapery of blue, the 
child Astyanax in golden-colored garb clinging closely to her as she 
points with her outstretched hand to where Hector lies. At the right a 
beautifully balanced group of allegorical figures in classic robes, with 
brilhant ribbons or wreaths in their hair, the foremost, evidently an 
apotheosis of Queen Anne, wearing her crown and represented as the 
Muse of epic history; her displaced favorite, the Duchess of Marl- 
borough, holding the tibia, regards her royal mistress pensively, while 
the new favorite leans confidently over the indulgent Queen’s shoulder. 
Background of magnificently composed arched porticos, screened by 
vivid and luxuriant foliage. Acanthus border in tans and rose.

IMPORTANT ALLEGORICAL FLEMISH TAPESTRY, ABOUT 
1500 

A magnificent and perfect example of the transition from the Gothic 
to the Louis Douze style. The tapestry is from a set illustrating the Seven 
Deadly Sins. The top of the composition with two banderoles on red 
ground, showing a Latin inscription in distichs, slightly imperfect, re- 
ferring to the subject of the tapestry and expressing a rather truistic 
morality: “Exiguis contenta cibis natura perhorret.” “Gulam ex illa 


discrimina percipiens,” 


the second line, metrically incorrect, must be 
slightly corrupt. 
The second banderole reads: 

“Ingenium obfuscat nitidum luxusque procaces 

Excitat huius vite abbreviatque dies.” 

‘““Procaces” is probably to be read “procacis”. The translation of these 
verses would probably be: 
“Nature, satisfied with modest food, has horror of greed. . . . 
Therefore discriminate and be on the look out. 
The clear mind of the profligate is confused by luxury 
Which excites and shortens the days of this life.” 
Below, figures of the old Testament and the classical mythology, some 
of which exemplify faults committed under the influence of “Gula” and 
“Luxus,” such as David, Judith, Daniel, Bacchus, Thetis, Cleopatra, 
Lot with his daughters, etc. The background with landscape; in the sky, 
winged angels flying, probably Virtues, the names of which are desig- 
nated in Latin inscriptions. The border with undulated Gothic vines on 


deep bluish-green ground. Size, 18 feet 9 inches x 16 feet

which defies description. The border on four sides of flower and fruit 
baskets, again with birds and butterflies, some reproducing forms of 
Chinese faiences utterly unknown to us to-day. Richly leaf-gilded

COMPOSITE ANIMAL OF THE T’ANG PERIOD 

Incense burner in the form of a mythical animal in bronze. A rare speci- 
men of the plastic art in China during a period of primitive technical 
achievements in the rest of the world. 

The animal, like most of the symbolic depictions of the Chinese, has its 
origin lost in remote antiquity. The object here displayed has the head 
and ears of a deer, neck and body of a horse, wings of a neo-Egypto- 
Sassanian archaic type, the tail of a bird, the legs of a horse, the cloven 
foot of a deer, with the elongated double spurs of the phoenrx. 

The front legs are in the position of a horse at rest, the hind legs very 
ingeniously posed in the position of a bird about to take flight. All 
these component parts are reconciled in a charming manner and make a 
perfectly satisfying entity. The wings are set on the body in a saddle- 
like manner, forming a cover for the incense burner, the vent of which 
is pierced as an ancient Chinese character for fire. The method of pro- 
duction is undoubtedly “cire perdu,” as the body and legs appear to be 
in one piece; this predicates a particularly fusible alloy that would flow 
at a low temperature. The bronze contains a comparatively large per- 
centage of mercury, making an excellent base for the parcel gilding of 
which traces still remain. The tail was used by the votaries as a 
receptacle for the tissue paper prayers that were inserted between the 
plumes and consumed by fire. To the antiquary it is of mterest to mark 
the resemblance of the Eleventh and Twelfth Century dinanderie and to 
the acquamanile of the Tenth to Thirteenth Century. In a moulded 
glass case. ~ -Height, without base, 9 inches
